Chloe and I will be participating in Fidos For Freedom’s 10th annual Stroll ‘n Roll on November 8th. We need people to volunteer to be on our team, and also are looking for donations to reach our goal.
I started training at Fidos For Freedom in Laurel, Maryland on April Fool’s Day in 2006. It was a long thirteen months, but months I needed to learn how my assistance dog would help me to be more independent and confident. Fidos matches dogs with clients “free of charge”, with on site training and follow-up, offering everything a client needs to succeed with a service dog. They match dogs for people with hearing loss like myself, as well as clients with mobility challenges. Every “match” is a life changed.
Chloe and I are looking for local volunteers to walk with us on Nov. 8th, but team members do not even have to participate the day of the walk. You can still join our team and help us reach our goal by simply contacting people you know who might help. I hope you will prayerfully consider supporting us in this way.
We also are looking for people who feel led to provide a small donation to help us reach our goal. Fidos For Freedom serves our community with specially trained dogs from professional trainers FREE to people with disabilities. They can only do that because of the donations of people like you! No amount is “too small”. Every dollar brings us that much closer to making sure another person with a disability is “matched” with a Fidos For Freedom dog. I hope you will stop by our page and join our team, or support us with a small donation today! Thank you in advance!
Hugs and slobbery kisses,
Denise and Chloe
As I go through the training with Emmy, I’m becoming even more aware of how much time has gone into her training before I met her!
My paypal is trashed at the moment – bank buyout and new account number. Will donate once that is straightened out – in a week or two after we get back.
I’m exhausted, the Ol’ Curmudgeon is exhausted, and Emmy is a bit tired, too!
Today we went to Publix (grocery store) – woo hoo!
Love
Elizabeth

I’ve been keeping up with your training at the new site! (I get alerts every day one of my favorite sites is updated.) I get excited when I see an update from YOU!
Denise,
